Things that amaze/confound/make me love Guatemala

1. Firecrackers at 5:30 am for no apparent reason. They´ve been my alarm clock many a morning. No one really seems to be able to explain why, just that it´s normal.
2. Air fresheners with the scent ¨Black Ice.¨¨
3. Vehicles meant to hold 12 people stuffed with 22-literally hanging out the windows, sitting in laps, and in the aisles.
4. Pan, Pan, and more Pan. These people love bread more than I do.
5. Dogs, Dogs, Dogs. They are everywhere! They wander in and out and no one pays them any mind. There was even one today in the middle of a dance competition.
6. Queso Fresco. God, that stuff is good.
7. McDonalds three times as big as the ones at home full of people at any given time of the day. What is it with that place?
8. Bumper stickers that read "Obamanos" and "Jesus: mi mejor amigo"
9. The song called "Te Amo" It means ¨I love you" and we´ve heard it at least 100 times since arriving.
